rewatch question 3 3/10 what is the line called that is perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence? scroll more refracted ray normal line incident ray emergent ray
In optics, the normal line is defined as the line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence. It serves as a reference for measuring angles of incidence and reflection. The refracted ray is the ray that bends when entering a different medium. The incident ray is the incoming ray before interaction with the surface. The emergent ray is the ray coming out after passing through a medium.
